Could you add some package.json stuff from the theme into `@site`? -It’d be nice to have the theme name, version, author(s) etc.

Just incase you missed this @gnimmelf there is some `package.json` keys that are used to tag Ghost themes. You can find out more over on our docs:

Hi,

Yeah, I saw that, thanks. The ones I’d like to put in the theme footer aren’t included.

So even maybe a `@theme` helper?

A workaround now is to parse `package.json`, e.g with git hooks, and duplicate the desired prop there… 🤪 Cumbersome.
